WATCH all 21 stages live and free via SBS On Demand, or watch live on SBS from August 20 - September 12.
The race will depart from the Dutch city of Utrecht this year, with the first three stages starting and finishing in the Netherlands before a rest day will allow for a transfer into Spain.
Stage four begins from the city of Vitoria-Gasteiz in Basque Country as the race makes its way to the finish in Madrid at the historical district of Paisaje de la Luz, or Landscape of Light where the winner will be crowned.
Primož Roglič (Jumbo-Visma) took out last year's race, with Enric Mas (Movistar) finishing second and Australian Jack Haig (Bahrain Victorious) taking third overall. After both sustaining injuries at the Tour de France, it's unclear if Roglič and Haig will appear at this year's Vuelta.
There are many notable names confirmed for this year's event, with Australian Giro d'Italia winner Jai Hindley (BORA-Hansgrohe) and runner-up Richard Carapaz (INEOS Grenadiers) as well as Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) and Alejandro Valverde (Movistar) who will compete in their final Grand Tours.
Also confirmed is Belgian time trial champion Remco Evenepoel (Quick-Step Alpha Vinyl) who will be one of the favourites for the overall classification and is looking to be in great form after a stunning solo victory at the San Sebastian Classic.
The women's race, the Challenge by La Vuelta will again feature on SBS in an extended format, with five tough stages mapped out for the top riders in the peloton alongside the final five stages of the men's race.
The Vuelta will mark the final chapter in an incredible year of cycling Grand Tours, so you won't want to miss any of the action on SBS.
